电影《女权天使》是关于一位名叫爱丽斯保尔的女性，她坚定地认为女性应该得到选举权，与她的朋友露西·伯恩斯和其他妇女一起，她们为女性权利和第十九修正案而战。这些积极分子通过在威尔逊总统的就职典礼上示威游行和在战争期间在白宫门前抗议来展示她们的大力支持，其中许多男性则为此感到愤怒。在白宫门前的抗议活动导致了激进分子被逮捕，并被指控为“交通障碍”。在监狱中，爱丽丝保罗和其他女性绝食罢工，却被迫喂食生鸡蛋和牛奶。后来，当权者的粗暴行为被新闻媒体曝光，其对总统施压，使得第十九修正案被批准，女性有了选举权。

嘉莉查普曼CATT是全国性的美国妇女参政权协会（NAWSA），没有出现过女性为了达到其目的而进行抗议，游行和绝食等方法。她认为宪法修正案中赋予女性选举权将仅被参议院否决，而这纯属浪费时间。换句话说，她与在小组中其他女性一样，更倾向于实事求是的方法，即爱丽斯保尔认为为了实现目标，她们必须为之而战，不管付出多大的代价。两种不同的意见导致了爱丽斯保尔退出了NAWSA,并且创建了自己的组织，其被称为国会联盟妇女参政协会。

在我看来，爱丽斯保尔并没有像其他人物一样被许多人所知晓，因为她不是唯一一个为争取女性投票权而奋斗的女性。有太多的女性如此，因此人们难以记住谁到底真正成功了。另外，事实上国家并不倾向于关注女性为社会做了什么，因为一些人仍然不赞成女性具有选举权这一决案。而且少数人认为女性在这个国家中没有发言权。

The movie Iron Jawed Angels is about a woman named Alice Paul, who strongly believed that women should receive the right to vote. Along with her friend, Lucy Burns and other women, they fought for women's rights and the ratification of the 19th Amendment. These activists showed their strong support by marching during President Wilson's inauguration and protesting in front of the White House during a war, which many men were angry about. The protests in front of the White House led to activists being arrested and charged them with “obstruction of traffic.” Inside the prison, Alice Paul and the other women went on a hunger strike and were forced fed by authorities with raw eggs and milk. Later, the harsh treatment of the authorities were publicized on newspapers which put pressure on the President that led to the ratification of 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote.

Carrie Chapman Catt is the chairman of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) who did not see protesting, marching, and hunger strike as the procedure that women should take in order to achieve their goals. She believed that the constitutional amendment that gives women the right to vote will only be vetoed in the Senate and will be a waste of time. In other words, she as well as the other women in their group prefer a “state-by-state” approach While Alice Paul, thought that in order to achieve their goal they must fight for it no matter what it will cost them. The different views from both, led to Alice Paul getting out of the NAWSA group, and creating her own that they called the Congressional Union for Women Suffrage.

In my opinion, Alice Paul was not known too well by people as much as the other figures because she was not the only woman who fought for the voting rights for women. There were too many women that fought for it, therefore making it difficult for people to remember who exactly succeeded. Also, the fact that our country do not like to pay attention to what women did for our society, because some still do not agree with the decision that gave women the right to vote. Still, a few people believed that women should not have a voice in this country.

The significance of the masturbation scene was to show how Alice Paul is longing for a man to lover her. But because she wanted to strongly fight for women's rights, she put all of her own pleasure behind and focused on the passage of the constitutional amendment for women. This scene also portrayed that women are seen as sex objects rather than as a person who should have a voice in the country like men does.

Overall, the movie was very good. I learned so many things that I did not know actually happened. The one thing that surprises me the most was
